most charming

Lin Tao couldn't figure out what Yuan Lao wanted to do, but he didn't say anything, and he couldn't ask, so he followed the old man into the house.

Mr. Yuan took Lin Tao to the backyard. There was a small open space, and there was a small wooden shed against the wall. It was not suitable for sleeping, and it was no problem for sheltering from the wind and rain.

Lin Tao followed Mr. Yuan into the small shed. Mr. Yuan closed the door and lit the candlestick on the table. The flame danced and the wax sizzled. Only then did Lin Tao see the layout inside.

It couldn't be more shabby, with two tables and two chairs, a stove in the corner, and a khaki clay pot with a completely blackened bottom on it. The whole shed exudes a faint smell of Chinese medicine.

"In your words, this is my studio." Mr. Yuan sat down on a chair, took out Gastrodia celestiae from his arms, and then took out dozens of different herbs.

"Mr. Yuan, when did you prepare this?" Lin Tao was very curious. Since he entered the door, he had never seen Mr. Yuan leave. Could it be possible that he can still pick things up from the air?

"It's already ready, and I've been waiting for you!"

Lin Tao said "Oh", which is completely understandable.

"I'm going to make medicine later, and you will watch from the side."

While Mr. Yuan was talking, he started to do it. He didn't ask for Lin Tao's opinion at all, but asked for it!

Lin Tao neither agreed nor refused, just sat on the chair and watched Yuan Lao make the medicine honestly.

Yuan Lao first put other medicinal materials in clay pots, added two bowls of water to soak them, then carefully opened the blue silk and satin, and took out the star grass.

The soil on the roots of the star grass was still moist, Mr. Yuan rubbed the roots lightly, his fingers were soon covered with a layer of soil, he stretched out his tongue to lick it, and smacked his lips, as if tasting smell.

Immediately, without any hesitation, he put the entire Skystar grass into the clay pot without even washing the soil!

The firewood used by Mr. Yuan is also very particular. The pieces are basically the same size. They are arranged in the stove and ignited with oil paper. On top of the stove, he picked up the big cattail fan beside him and fanned it lightly.

I don't know whether Yuan Lao arranged the firewood well or fanned it well. The flame in the stove has been kept in a constant state. It will neither burn too much suddenly nor reduce the fire suddenly. The method is already impressive.

Lin Tao waited patiently, only the crackling sound of firewood and the faint sound of wind from the fan could be heard.Mr. Yuan kept the same posture for a long time, even his breathing was barely audible. Obviously, this jar of medicine was extremely important to him, so he had to treat it with care.

After a long time, Elder Yuan suddenly let out a long breath, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's over!"

I don't know what method he used, but the firewood in the stove went out in an instant.

As if feeling no pain at all, Mr. Yuan stretched out his hand to transfer the pot to the ground. It was a hot pot, and if ordinary people touched it, a piece of skin would probably be scalded off.

The shed had long been occupied by the strong smell of medicine, and Lin Tao got used to it after smelling it, and slowly discovered a rare fragrance hidden in it.

Mr. Yuan rubbed his hands together nervously, unable to hide the tension on his face. He was relieved just now because the process of boiling the medicine was completed, but the exact effect of the medicine is still open to question.

Lifting the cover, Lin Tao saw that the Gastrodia sativa was well preserved, but it looked a little wilted.

Mr. Yuan was very happy. The most crucial step in the brewing method of herbs recorded in the book is the appearance of the star grass. If the star grass is stewed, it is either that the herb is not old enough, or the heat and time are not mastered properly. .

With many years of experience, Mr. Yuan naturally wouldn't be mistaken about the age of the Star Grass, and he just swallowed it a little bit. Although it has not reached the highest level described in the method, it has at least reached about [-]%.

Mr. Yuan rubbed his hands again. This time he was not nervous but excited. He turned around and found a clay bowl from a corner, rinsed it with clean water and put it on the table. He picked up the clay pot and poured it into the bowl.

The concoction as thick as ink was flowing slowly, did some herbs fall into the bowl, matched with the lid of the pottery pot, Yuan Lao poured the last drop of the concoction into the bowl in a daze, just enough to reach the edge of the bowl , almost overflowing.

"Old Yuan, is this the end?"

"It's over!"

Old Yuan nodded solemnly, put his mouth on the side of the bowl, sucked lightly, gulped it down, and then closed his eyes.

Lin Tao felt his tongue ache, and the hot concoction was not cold, and there was no way to drink it while it was hot.Fortunately, he only took a small sip. If he took a big sip, his tongue would probably be scalded.

After a few minutes, Old Yuan slowly opened his eyes, with a look of joy on his face, and said in a low voice, "It really works!"

This time, he didn't drink the medicine in a hurry, but waited silently until the temperature was right, and then he took it up and drank it all in one gulp!

"Lin Tao, go out and guard for me, no one will be seen!"

Lin Tao knew that Mr. Yuan probably wanted to do exercises to heal his injuries, so he said "oh", he walked out of the shed, and closed the door behind him.

He stood firmly outside the door, which can be regarded as helping Yuan Lao protect the law.

Until the sun rose, the first rays of the rising sun projected on the earth, driving away the darkness, the door of the small shed was pushed open, and Yuan Lao walked out from inside with a smile on his face.

The old man's vigor was no different from that of a young man in his twenties, and Lin Tao also faintly felt a familiar fluctuation from him, which was the reaction of his inner strength not being fully absorbed.

"Old Yuan, have you recovered?"

"Yes, the internal injury that has troubled me for so long is finally healed!"

Old Yuan paused for a moment, knowing that he had slipped his mouth because he was happy, and what he said didn't match up.

"It's good to be cured!"

Lin Tao smiled slightly, but didn't ask any further questions.

In his opinion, what secrets Mr. Yuan has has nothing to do with him, and he is not interested in knowing.

Elder Yuan heaved a sigh of relief silently, and then changed the subject, saying, "This time it's thanks to you, otherwise..."

Lin Tao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, please don't say thank you. This is a deal."

Old Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, well said, we are a deal!" He could feel that Lin Tao didn't want to feel that he owed him anything.In other words, Lin Tao doesn't want to have too much interaction with him, everything starts with the transaction and ends with the transaction, and does not involve other things. This is really the best.

"Come on, let's have some breakfast together."

Yuan Lao came to the front hall with Lin Tao, and Yuan Lao's apprentice had already prepared a simple breakfast.

There is still a shooting task today, Lin Tao can't stay in the medicine hall for too long, so he took a simple bite, then said goodbye and left.

After more than two months, the filming of the film is coming to an end.The film crew lived and ate in Qingsong Village for two months, and had a very good relationship with the villagers.

No one knew about Lin Tao's help to cure Yuan Lao, and Yuan Lao has always kept a low profile and did not spread the word.

Regarding the matter of Village Chief Ouyang and Elder Yuan, Lin Tao was not in the mood to inquire into it, as long as they didn't bother him.

Today is an important emotional scene. Yan Ning, played by Lin Tao, has long had a secret love for the heroine played by Wei Yuqing. To put it bluntly, it is a secret love, but he can't show it. There is an insurmountable gap between them.

The heroine played by Wei Yuqing is a very kind girl, and it is precisely because of this that she attracts the male lead played by Qian Cheng and the jealousy of the second female lead played by Su Mu.

A wooden house in the mountains is specially used for hunters to rest and spend the night. At this time, there are only Lin Tao and Wei Yuqing in the house.

The door was locked from the inside, Lin Tao occupied the only window, and Wei Yuqing was in the corner opposite.

After a series of events, the heroine played by Wei Yuqing changed from fear and helplessness at the beginning to curiosity and pity for Yan Ning.The setting of the role of Yan Ning is indeed a bit pitiful, no matter from the background or the ending.

Wei Yuqing entered the scene very quickly. She was leaning against the corner of the wall, holding her knees tightly with her hands, her clothes were a little dirty, and her eyes were a little tired.

"Yan Ning, are you really going to kill me?"

Her question was very naive, which drew Lin Tao's ridicule.

But just like watching the whole play, you can feel the change in Lin Tao's affection for Wei Yuqing, from being indifferent at the beginning to being talkative now.

"Do you want to die?"

Lin Tao looked out the window, and the camera zoomed in to give him a characteristic. Under the cold expression, there was an imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.

"I don't want to!" Wei Yuqing said softly, "But what I say doesn't count!"

"You are self-aware!"

Wei Yuqing asked again: "If you let me go back, I won't report the crime, and I won't tell others about it. Just pretend nothing happened!"

"Nothing happened?"

Yan Ning turned her head, her eyes were cold, and she shook her head at the same time.

"What happened is what happened, and it can never be treated as never happened!" When he got here, his inner monologue was "It would be great if it wasn't you who was kidnapped!"

Wei Yuqing stood up against the wall and walked slowly towards Lin Tao.

"Sit down!" Lin Tao shouted coldly.

"I, I want to see you up close!" Wei Yuqing opened her hands, indicating that she has nothing in her hands.

Lin Tao watched her coldly approaching him step by step until she was two steps away from him.

"Haven't you seen enough of my face these days?"

"When I was very young, I had very few friends. The children didn't like to play with me. They would complain to the teacher, saying that I often said some weird things to them..." Wei Yuqing smiled and shook her head, "Actually, I I know that the reason why the children think what I say is weird is because I am different from what they see!"

Wei Yuqing raised her head and looked at Lin Tao, without any fear in her eyes, no matter how ugly Lin Tao's expression was.

"When I grow up, people often say that I see things from a strange angle, and I know that it's not that I'm weird, but that they don't understand!" Wei Yuqing smiled, "It's like you, I see What matters is the softness of your heart under your cold mask, if I tell others that Yan Ning is a tough man with tenderness, and that cruelty is just on the surface, I think many people will think that I am crazy!"

"Snapped!"

Lin Tao suddenly raised his hand, a slap across the face made Wei Yuqing unsteady, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"I think you are crazy!" Lin Tao's tone was cold, as if he would kill someone in the next moment.

Wei Yuqing turned her head, covered her face with her hands, and insisted, "I'm not crazy, it's just that you don't want to admit it!"
